Compactness is an important principle in redistricting process, and there are different measures to quantify this property in electoral zones. However, these measures are unsatisfactory, since they can be unable to favor the design of compact zones in enough complicated problems. In this paper,...

Given a graph G=(V,E), a coloring function C assigns an integer value C(i) to each node i[set membership, variant]V in such a way that the extremes of any edge {i,j}[set membership, variant]E cannot share the same color, i.e., C(i)[not equal to]C(j). Two different approaches to the graph...

Grover’s algorithm can be employed in global optimization methods providing, in some cases, a quadratic speedup over classical algorithms. This paper describes a new method for continuous global optimization problems that uses a classical algorithm for finding a local minimum and Grover’s...

This paper aims to verify if there is any effect in the income distribution for the Mexican economy when applying a tax on fossil fuels in order to reduce CO2 emissions. In order to reach this goal a computable general equilibrium model was built following the Shoven & Whalley method. It is...

We examine the impact of fiscal policy in the management of water resources by using a computable general equilibrium model. Several comparative static exercises are carried out to assess the effects of a particular fiscal policy on economic welfare. Finally, we state a set of fiscal policy...
